Comparing and Contrasting Super Cars Everyone have dream of a car they want in their drive way. It's purely hypothetical and likely we'll never need to make the difficult choice, but given that you can't walk down Cheapside in a popular city these days without spotting either a Maserati GranTurismo or an Aston Martin DB9, it's not a completely irrelevant question to pose. Let's agree that both are good cars. They’ll get you to point A to point B, and they’ll both do it stylishly and quickly. But they are very different in almost every way. What can you really say about these super cars? The GranTurismo convertible and the Aston Martin DB9 Volante are the automotive comparable of supermodels. They bring to mind ecstatic emotions when looking at them and seem like they belong in an art gallery. The GranTurismo convertible comes powered by a 4.7L V8, while the DB9 Volante gets a 6.0L V12. They are more than just eye candy. The GrandTurismo and DB9 have two different design paths. The GrandTurismo is seductive however menacing while the DB9 is refined and prestigious. The GrandTurismo have the right amount of curves and lines, somewhere connected to a Ferri and an Aston Martin. The sculpted fenders and hood are stunning as the sharp headlights give off an unapproachable stare. Aston Martin convertible models appear to have the perfect sports car scope with one of the most elegant designs ever. It’s not as appealing as the GranTurismo but it give the impression of being more sophisticated. Whereas the Maserati makes you turn your head as it passes, the Aston Martin makes you can’t keep your hands of it. The Maserati interior is larger than the Aston Martin. Maserati and Aston Martin keep their interiors relatively simple which allows for beautiful and elegant designs. The GrandTurismo base cost will start from 150,000 while the Aston Martin base cost start

    Someone could argue with a simple tire upgrade to the challenger it would improve its handling making just as fast in the figure eight or even faster than the Camaro. People could also argue that quarter mile times matter more because they might only care about how fast a car can accelerate from a stop. Someone could also argue that they like the feel of the extra horse power of the challenger over the Camaro. A person could argue that a challenger is a better daily driver because the seats and entire interior is bigger. If you are a bigger person, the challenger would provide way more room both width and length wise. Someone could argue that the price difference between the Camaro and Challenger is worth it because the Challenger has a larger engine with more horsepower and the car its self is bigger than the Camaro, so it is going to take more materials the make the…

    When Infiniti brought out the G35 sport sedan and sport coupe four years ago; it was easy to see who the company was going after. With its powerful six-cylinder engine, rear-wheel drive and finely balanced, sport-tuned chassis, the G35 didn't gingerly dip its toe into the entry-level luxury sport sedan/coupe waters. Rather, it took a flying leap, did a cannonball and splashed cold water all over the BMW 3 Series.…

    There is a lot of controversy over the two cars; people who think the Stang (Mustang) is a better car, and people that think the Maro (Camaro) is a better car. It is all a matter of personal opinion, and what you like in a car. Such as: price, engine size, interior room, performance, economy, and of course, the company of which it's made by. For me, the Camaro is the car of my choice, for others it is the Mustang, but before you choose which car is the car for you, I would recommend doing some research on both renowned cars. To this day both the Camaro, and Mustang strive to be the best, and are constantly battling to beat out the…

    Anyone on this planet who has a love for cars can respect the Bugatti Veyron; an automotive masterpiece. The technicians building this car faced hundreds of problems over the course of production. After 10 very long and grueling years, they finally created a very powerful but smooth riding beast. In Sam Smith’s article “We’ll Never See a Supercar like the Bugatti Veyron Again”, he uses tone and design to successfully support that we will never see another supercar like this again, given all of the technological advances and scientific limitations.

    In keeping with original exterior body style of this American icon, the redesign captures the curvature with subtle softening of the contour. The front end design integrity has been protected by keeping the original round headlights inset into the grill. The integrity was also well maintained in providing the same style of tail light to match that of the older counterpart. Another aspect that has held the integrity of the original 1960’s model is performance. The performance of the 6.4 liter 470 horsepower 2010 model still provides the sought after horsepower of 1960’s model. This model also provides maximum acceleration in keeping with the older counterpart. In today’s times, the 2010 provides that same stigma as the older counterpart as the muscle care of this day and…

    Ford and Chevy are as American as apple pie. However, as any car fanatic knows. They are as big of rivals as the North and the South used to be. Two rival models of Ford and Chevy, in particular, is the Ford Mustang Shelby GT and the Chevy ZL1 Camaro. The Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang are quintessential American pony cars and as such, continue to fight the war over which sport utility vehicle is the best in performance. I recently became interested in cars and the whole racing aspects of them because my best friend races once in a while. He is extremely knowledgeable and interested in cars and can tell which car is the best. Becoming a huge car fanatic like him, I have to “pick a side” and decide which car I would go with the Mustang or the Camaro. The two features that I would take in to consideration in deciding which car is better than the other one is the performance that it has to offer and the style that it resembles.…

    Mustang Vs Camaro

    In the 2010 models the winner of the styling contest is a bit of a toss-up. Both rides sit low while showing off their muscular curves. There is less than a fine line when determining whether smooth curves or ripped definition defines sexy styling. The Camaro features aggressive sharp angles while the mustang appears aerodynamic and speedy. The Mustang's grill is slim in contrast to gaping mouth of the Camaro. The interior styling seals the deal for those with the pocketbooks to consider test-driving. Ford has implemented premium styling in their Mustang. Chevy's interior design for the Camaro is unique and striking. The Mustang's short shift knob is a sleek and shiny aluminum, while the Camaro shows off a sexy jet black leather knob. The Camaro shows off an array of performance gauges located under the stereos message center and air conditioning controls. Chevy adds excitement with colorful accents to the doors, seats, and dashboard. While the Mustang lacks this sort of abstract appeal, Ford offers up a classy approach. Customizable dashboard lights and a gigantic 8 inch touch-screen message center, featuring a modern GPS system. Up-scale trim gives the Mustang a superior soft-touch feel. Overall these observations are less than the deciding factor-the buyers and fans. Taste will separate the buyers. Muscle car allegiance will separate the true…

    The first element of BMW’s advertising campaign that I chose to analyze was a commercial of a BMW M5. Before viewing this commercial, my initial thoughts were, “this is going to be about the ultimate driving machine.” This has been BMW’s trademark catch-phrase for as long as I can remember. BMW is the car company that has always been raising the bar for car standards; all other entry-level to higher-level luxury cars all strive to be included in the same context as BMW. The difference between Lexus, Infiniti, Audi, and other competitor’s messages in commercials to BMW messages is that BMW almost never shows off the luxuries of the automobile while the others almost primarily do. In BMW ads like the commercial I analyzed, BMW’s message is clear. They are showing the land speed record being broken by a man driving a car that looks like a rocket. At the end of the commercial, a man comes into the picture to adjust a camera hooked to the side of a BMW M5 that was driving ahead of the rocket car filming it. At the end of the commercial, BMW displays a message that the new M5 is the fastest saloon car on the planet, referring to a sedan. While they could have mentioned the M5 has some spectacular amenities and luxuries standard on the car, they only display the message that it is the fastest sedan on the planet. I believe they feel the public already understands that BMW’s produce luxury automobiles and…
